Life Without Sports

18
Vote

by Behbigben15

Has anyone ever wondered what life would be like without sports?  Well, it would certainly be a different world wouldn't it?  With no sports, I don't think there would be a reason to live.  If you really think about it, the world pretty much revolves around sports.  There isn't too many

American that doesn't like either Football, Baseball, Basketball, or Lacrosse (Everyone plays it in my hometown).  I have come up with a list of

things that would exist if there was NO sports in today's world.

  • There would be no ESPN (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).
  • There would not be a reason to read the newspaper.
  • Sunday's during the fall and winter would be just another day of the week.
  • The only thing there would be to talk about on the radio is politics.
  • John Madden would not be loved by millions, and he would not have a man crush on Brett Favre.
  • There would be no athletes for little kids to look up to.
  • Barry Bonds would not be on steroids, but Michael Vick would still be in jail.
  • New Orleans' residents may still be depressed, and homeless after Hurricane Katrina if the Saints didn't exist to help them through the tragedy.
  • There wouldn't be gambling, so all those gamblers who lost everything, would still have a home, and money.
  • And last, but not least, there wouldn't be an ArmchairGM.com, therefore, I would not be writing this article.

THANK GOD FOR SPORTS!!!!!

This is just a few of the thousands of reasons why I am thankful for sports.  If anyone has there own reasons, list them in a comment, and I will add them on with your name.

I've met Erin Andrews. There are better things to do than "meet" her... And may I say yeah, she's hot. But she's not THAT hot.

Without sports, I'd probably have a lot more money. I wouldn't have a real job with the Pats, I wouldn't watch any TV at all, Saturday and Sunday afternoons would suck, all those great sports movies wouldn't exist, the only things I could argue with people about would be politics and religion. Worst of all, there'd be no AGM.

Chris Berman would be a used car salesman in a plaid polyester suit and chicks wouldn't respond to his "you're with me, leather" pickup line.

We'd still have Joe Buck and Tim McCarver in this world, but at least we'd have less of a chance of hearing them talk.

Yeah, Buck & McCarver could serve as alternates whenever Whoopi is on IR for "The View" screechfest.

The View is a shade above Around The Horn in terms of credibility.

If no sports we wouldn't have jerks like Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent with their massive egos and think the world rotates around them.

But Anna Kournikova would be just some mail order bride. Wait, maybe that's not a bad thing, at least for the guy who orders her.

If it weren't for sports...I wouldn't be a journalism major. Instead, I would be a criminology major

BTW, for your first bullet, Behbigben15, to add to "NO ESPN", you should also add Fox Sports... except we all know that it would be a good thing. ;)

Worst thing is that there would never have been a Dizzy Dean broadcasting games and saying "As you seen on your screen folks he was out as he slud into third base." like he did on the CBS game of the week and telling stories about the good old days of baseball.
